A combination of a rather complicated arcade and adventure game. We try to survive on a dinosaur-controlled island, using various ideas to outwit these prehistoric reptiles.
Jurassic Park 3: Dino Attack (also known as Jurassic Park III: Island Attack) is a combination of not too complicated arcade, logical game and adventure. This is also the third game, which was chosen to be based on the title game. Previous attempts to transfer the famous amusement park to GBA screens have not been successful. This time, therefore, a completely different model of play has been prepared, focusing more on the need to use grey cells than on the mindless elimination of prehistoric reptiles. The game's production is the responsibility of Japanese developer studio Mobile 21, which has also prepared such titles as Gradius Galaxies or Monster Guardians. Dino Attack was created with the needs of a single player in mind.
As we play, we play the role of Dr. Alan Grant, who, as a result of the initially unexplained events, found himself in the middle of an island captured by dinosaurs. The main character very quickly manages to make contact with the coastguard, learning that he could be rescued, but has to get to the shore of the island. It is also worth mentioning that we gradually learn many other things about the controlled character and the situation in which he or she is currently in.
One of the main factors distinguishing Dino Attack from competing products is the fact that we do not deal with the extermination of dinosaurs. This is due, among other things, to the fact that Dr Grant landed on the island only with basic equipment. There are no real weapons either. Reptiles can be stunned for at most a few seconds. The substitution uses a variety of lures to distract monsters. More than 20 such items have been put at the player's disposal. The game is mainly based on safe avoidance of reptiles and solving more or less complex riddles. They usually require a combination of found objects or keys needed to open the door. In a few missions you also sit at the helm of an enduro motorcycle. The visual setting of the game looks very unusual. It seems photorealistic. This improves the overall impression, but this style of graphics also makes it a little more difficult to see the dinosaurs in the area.
